Martina was a compassionate daughter for her father, who became disabled due to an accident caused by her. Feeling bad, she vowed to do anything her stepmother wanted, which included marrying a stranger. She initially resisted the idea, but her evil stepmother threatened to cut off her father's treatment if she didn't. She had no choice but to marry the man her stepmother had arranged for her. She soon found that the guy she was about to marry was someone wealthy, which motivated her to believe that her future husband might be able to assist her father's recovery by arranging for the best physicians and treatment available. She was willing to give herself up for her father's sake, but what she didn't expect was that the man she is about to wed is one of the richest men in the world, someone who was much older than she was—even much older than her dad! After being married, Zion decided to bring his new wife to his place, an island secluded from civilization, where Martina met a handsome man, a handsome man that made her heart flutter.

CHAPTER 2: The Wedding

-=Martina's Point of View=- I was in complete disbelief when I saw who my groom was, and I couldn't help but keep looking at Fiona. "Are you marrying me off to him?" I asked, unable to believe it. "Yes, is there something wrong with that? Besides, I mentioned that you know him, didn't I?" She replied, acting as if there was no issue with my future husband. Everyone is familiar with Zion Montgomery. I mean, who wouldn't know about one of the wealthiest individuals in the world? I've heard about him through the news, particularly in the business sections, and I've seen his face in numerous newspapers. However, I don't personally know him or have ever met him, so it puzzles me. How does my stepmother know someone as wealthy as Zion Montgomery, and why would he want to marry me in the first place? A feeling of unease came over me when I sensed someone staring intently at me. When I glanced over, I saw Zion looking directly at me. Our eyes connected, and I immediately noticed that hi

CHAPTER 3: His Home

-=Martina's Point of View=-I woke up feeling slightly disoriented, and as I looked up, I was puzzled by the unfamiliar ceiling above me. Without getting out of bed, I scanned the room and realized that it was completely unknown to me.Curiosity got the better of me, and I couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Where am I?" It took a few moments before the memories came rushing back."I'm married."The sudden realization cast a shadow over my mood, and when I glanced at my finger, there it was, undeniable evidence.Resting on my ring finger was a simple gold band with an Alexandrite stone at its center, coincidentally my birthstone. I couldn't determine whether it was just a matter of chance or if this ring was indeed my wedding ring.Strangely, as I continued to gaze at the ring, the weight on my heart seemed to lighten. If only I were married to someone I truly loved.I let out a deep sigh and lay back in bed, reflecting on the events of the previous day. I couldn't shake off the fact tha

CHAPTER 4: The Island

-=Martina's Point of View=-After getting Zion's confirmation that the island I was looking for was indeed his home, I decided to keep my mouth shut.I feel like throwing up because of my nerves; just thinking that I will be alone on the island with my now-husband makes me feel sick.I always dreamed of marrying the man I love, just like in the fairy tale stories that my dad used to read to me when I was a child—someone I would love forever and who would love me for the rest of our lives—but because of what happened, it made me realize that fairy tales are just for kids, ignorant of how the world really works."Cruel."The world is cruel, and so are the people living in it. There might be people who tend to live an honest life, but there are more people who will do everything just to take advantage of those innocent people.Take me, for example. If I weren't too weak and powerless, then I wouldn't be forced to be wed to someone I didn't love. If I had the money, the power, and the inf

CHAPTER 5: A Friend

-=Martina's Point of View=- I'm not sure if it was because of my nerves, the stress I've been through, the anxiety I felt and kept on feeling, or maybe all of those emotions, which made me feel exhausted, and after just a few minutes of lying down in bed, I felt my eyelids getting heavy, and I let myself drift into oblivion. It felt like I just closed my eyes when a sudden knock on my door awoke me, and before I could respond to it, the door opened, revealing the same kid maid who I caught looking at me earlier. "Good afternoon, mistress. Master Zion ordered me to fetch you, so you can both have a late lunch," she said, trying to maintain a poker face, but behind it, I could still detect a particular curiosity behind her blue eyes. "It's fine." She courteously introduced herself as Annie and told me that from now on, she would be my personal helper. She then started helping me get ready, and even though I told her that I could manage, she insisted that it was her job to assist me

CHAPTER 6: His Rules

-=Martina's Point of View=-On the outside, I looked calm and composed, but deep inside, my every nerve was screaming from the fear and intimidation I was feeling because of this old man, who happened to be my husband.Every inch of my body is telling me to run away and to get as far as possible away from Zion, but I remained standing and still did not dare to show any nerves.He just nodded as he finally took his eyes away from me, giving me a chance to take a deep breath as if it could help me calm down.I silently took the seat that Annie motioned for me to take, and just a few minutes later, the helpers served our food.I couldn't help but notice that most of the food served is my favorite, and because of that, I couldn't stop myself from looking in Zion's direction, who is totally emerged in his drink and had a few bites on his plate."Did he prepare these all for me?" I couldn't help but wonder, but immediately dismissed that thought, thinking that even though I'm already his wi

CHAPTER 7: Might Not be a Bad Person

-=Martina's Point of View=- We finally left the castle around four in the afternoon, and I couldn't help but get excited after finally getting out of that place. Like I've said, I felt like that castle was more of a prison than a home, and now that I finally had the chance to step outside and explore the island—well, at least the pond that Annie told me about—I felt a sense of freedom somehow. "You seem more relaxed." I was awakened when I heard Annie's comment, and when I looked at her, the smile on my face widened, and I looked at her appreciatively. "What made you say that?" I asked tentatively, still unsure if I could be honest with her since she's hired by Zion, meaning her loyalty would be with Zion. "I don't know; you appeared uptight when we were at the castle, but now you look calm and relaxed," she explained. I didn't know how to respond to her observation, so I decided to just keep my mouth shut, and after a few minutes had passed without me responding, she decided to

CHAPTER 8: Zion's Gone

-=Martina's Point of View=- I woke up the following morning feeling refreshed and energized, I didn't imagine I could wake up feeling like this. A smile appeared on my lips when I remembered the trip Annie and I had to the pond. I couldn't wait for us to return to that place, and this time, I promised myself that I would try swimming in the pond. I also remembered her stories about their community on the southern part of the island, and I promised myself that I would visit that place, with Zion's approval, of course. After a few minutes of spacing out, I suddenly remembered the western part where I was not supposed to go, the place that is dangerous according to Annie. She didn't go into detail about the danger, but it was clear how serious it was because her own group avoided that area with an unshakeable resolution, which made me wonder whether she was really telling the truth. A nagging feeling, though, persisted that there might be more to the story than what was revealed. I

CHAPTER 9: The Special Garden

-=Martina's Point of View=-"Are you alright, Martina?" I was awoken from my deep thoughts when I heard Annie's voice.We are currently on our way to the place where she was taking me. She didn't tell me where it was and just told me to follow her."Nothing," I denied, but the look that Annie gave me indicated that she didn't believe me."Were you still thinking about Master Zion?" she asked."Of course not!" I immediately denied it."Ok, well, just in case, just like his assistant told you, this happened before, so you don't have to be worried about it. Yes, he's an old man, but he's stronger than the usual older people," she said.This brings me back to the peculiar things I noticed during the reception of our wedding: his strength and even his speed, which are not normal to older people, heck even to the younger generations, but I decided to put them at the back of my mind.“Will you marry someone like Zion if he asks you to marry him?" I suddenly asked, really curious about how sh

CHAPTER 10: Confusing Emotions

-=Martina's Point of View=-Annie decided to leave me in this garden. She said that she needed to do something, but I think she just wanted to give me the privacy I needed, especially after what happened earlier, which I immediately agreed to and appreciated.I waited for Annie to leave, and when I was certain that it was only me in this garden, I returned my gaze to the tulips.Like what I told her, being with the Semper Augustus made me feel like my mother was with me, and even though I was alone on this island with practically strangers, I felt like I wouldn't be that lonely anymore.After learning that this tulip is my mom's favorite, it also became my favorite, but even without my mom appreciating this flower, you couldn't help but admire the beauty and sophistication of this flower.It has the appearance of red feather-like patterns, reminiscent of a phoenix emerging from a snowy terrain. It leaves anyone who sees it in awe due to its vivid crimson flares, which create a spectac
